  1. Diminish the darkness? You?
  2. Or, they can bring an acceptable bill to Schumer and Jeffries.

  4. A few months ago I was out later than usual and saw a very attractive, very well built blond in her early 20’s wearing a red MAGA hat, white tank and cutoffs with boots. She had forearm tats and was a smoking a cigarette. I was repelled by her hat but went in for a closer look because something seemed off. Turns out I was wrong. Her hat actually said β€œTRUMP VOTERS CAN SUCK MY DICK”
  5. Yesterday on the Ryder Cup thread, I said the US could still win if Mike Pence had the courage, and one of our delicate friends responded that β€œit will all be over for you soon” Serious business
  6. He’s realizing his hand isn’t as strong as he thought. Schumer and Jeffries need to go all in and stop making offers.
  7. So you’re going back to 2017? Go ahead and post the all-time graph. If your point is that scarce, low elasticity , highly differentiated goods that are both produced slower than the population grows and also more slowly than the money supply expands tend to be good long term investments, I agree.

  9. Two parts good gin, one part dry vermouth. pour over ice and shake vigorously. Strain into chilled cocktail glass and garnish with an olive, pearl onion, or lemon twist, drink 3-5 slowly.
  10. Edit: I sincerely regret the joke. This is horrible.
  11. Consider it done. Can you be a little more specific about when it will all be over for me? I want to make the most of the time I have left with your mom.
  12. My relationship* with your mom? *sexual relationship.
  13. Maybe the president can rally the troops. I just know that win or lose, President Trump will support Team USA through thick and thin.
  14. Fair point, but it’s not just about blood money. The LIV thing is like when Tony George split IRL from CART. Tony George didn't sponsor murder and terrorism on American soil, and it still slowly destroyed the sport.

  16. Gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there Bob. But I do think is that it’s deflationary in the aggregate. Either way, however, none of that is really relevant to the point. Way back on the ca. 2020 Covid threads I said somewhere that I anticipated a rather rapid U shaped recovery, driven by the same thing driving spending now, despite everything: income inequality. The top 3-4% of income earners have achieved exit velocity relative to the gravity that economic uncertainty and rising costs impacts everyone else. And that’s true for businesses as well.
  17. It’s a function of where the data comes from and who is in the top 20%. First, a lot of these data come from reports organized into quintiles. So it’s no surprise that the people who are spending are in the top 20%, even if some or a lot of the top 20% isn’t spending much, like you. Second- the top 20% contains a large number of baby boomers, who carry a lower debt load and pay less for housing than younger earners in the top quintile. The people who are spending at your income level may be older, life in a cheaper location, have a laid off house, etc. Third, it matters a lot where you are in the top 20%, because spending is increasingly concentrated through the top of the top quintile. The top 20% does about 63% of the spendinG, but the top 10% accounts for 49% of the spending. Those are both historic highs.
